New Linking Open Data group on CKAN
November 5th, 2009
Our Open Data and Semantic Web workshop is coming up next Friday 13th November in London, kindly sponsored by Talis.
In preparation for the workshop, we have started a Linking Open Data group on CKAN, our open-source registry of open data, based on the new group feature we announced last week. We currently have 83 Linked Data packages listed, which you can see at:
If you know of any datasets we should add, please consider adding them to CKAN! If you’d like to become an administrator for the LOD group, please get in touch.
We have also converted all of the CKAN data to RDF and loaded it onto Talis’s Connected Commons platform (which was launched earlier this year at OKCon 2009). This can be queried at:

The licensing data display is misleading. Instead of showing a red X for missing information, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to show a question mark (?) or some other symbol to let them know what’s going on?
Currently you have to dig through several screens to figure out that a bunch of these entries just got created without any license information at all. That’s not the same thing as “not open.”
